Damn. Cyborg had such a strong raw-build, but raw-builds only get you so far before your team has to step-up and do something. And her team did not. Megan’s, however, did, and she got the TLC that a champion needs in order to bring home a belt.
Congrats to our second ManMMA champion! Long may she reign.
